youtube recommendation algorithms HATE him

local cat discovers one weird trick to be recommended the least appealing content on the planet despite not watching anything vaguely similar

MissUtilis

did the nostalgia critic run out of actual old stuff to review

Obā-san

this is all because i spent like a few hours months ago watching Red Letter Media videos to see why odradek was so mad im sure of it

Salix Babylonika

the curse spreads

Salix Babylonika

that's ok I watched a handful of Totalbiscuit videos like two years ago before I knew he was a douchebag and Youtube has been utterly convinced ever since that I MUST want to watch his wife play HunniePop.

Also, the answer to this question is yes.

The "make fun of a current movie by reenacting it instead of using clips" format was funny the first couple times but he seems intent on making that his full time gimmick now...

It's the first thing he's done that people have actually liked in literally years, so it's not surprising that he's running it into the ground now.

It is quite amusing to me that he's abandoned any pretense of his original "reviewing movies from '90s kids' childhoods" gimmick at this point

Isn't that at least partly to circumvent his videos being taken down because of copyright claims? Or am I thinking of someone else?

That too, yeah. It lets him make videos about movies while they're still in theaters without having to avoid the copyright police.

Alduin

sigh

I like to listen to his opinions, but his gimmicks really can get on my nerves

I actually have to wonder what the point is, then, seeing as he already had Bum Reviews...

It also gives the actors that he refuses to fire for whatever reason something to do.

Princess Alice

Honestly I can't really fault him for keeping them around because he owes them for canceling Demo Reel so soon after he cast them in that, so...

Section42L

It's already been three years, though, so I imagine any commitment he made to them has either run out or is about to run out.

Alduin

I'm not really familiar with Nostalgia Critic continuity, or the quasi-franchise he's built around himself

I just listen to his opinions and that's it

Yarrun XIX

Honestly, I'm more mad that he picked a movie that people actually like in general. Nobody likes to watch him review stuff people like

Also, there was some basis on the first two. NC had a history of reviewing Jurassic Park and Adam Sandler. This is right out of left field

Obā-san

I'm filled with regret that I didn't crop the nostalgia critic out

I know that feel.

If it's any consolation, I think youtube firmly believes everyone wants to watch meninist blathering.

Be lucky that the AVGN wasn't in that photo.

...aren't they like the same dude or?

Section42L

They're separate.

They just cross over from time to time.

They like to have sex, but it's not gay.

Calica

the first time i saw the image i didn't realize the amazing atheist and thunderfoot were two different people and assumed he just shaved

Odradek

Maybe naney actually watched atheist videos and that's why he's seeing this

Obā-san

I don't think I have

Imipolex G

maybe he clicked on one by accident a while back and doesn't remember

BUT YOUTUBE DOES

Klinotaxis

oh yeah, well what horrible videos HAVE you watched to get you these recommendations, COMRADE

Odradek

I think watching this was what dynamited my recommendations.

This is a good video though.

Obā-san

...i figured out what i watched.

i watched a video by this sword dude talking about bad swordplay in movies and he also had a bunch of other less savory videos

Odradek

I, for one, am sad Madass Alex has fallen so far.

Obā-san

youtube now wants me to watch a bunch of animated Cyanide and Happiness shorts

Crystal

Cute.

Obā-san

have you watched The Last Unicorn

Crystal

No, why?

Obā-san

That is a gif from The Last Unicorn, it is a very good movie, one of my favorites, and it is on netflix

i am hereby recommending it to you, with the caveat that the theme song is bad

Crystal

For what it's worth, it sounded familiar after you asked (and indeed it did), and finding out it's on Netflix just gives me more impetus to check it out.

So, thanks, sure I will at some point.
